Treatment of Acute Illnesses During AIDS
Because of the seriousness of this disease, the treatment of people with HIV requires professional health care, even when their ailments are seemingly minor. Ideally, they should receive treatment from an expert homeopath, but otherwise the best care is one that integrates homoeopathic treatment with appropriate medical diagnosis and, in emergencies, with appropriate medical treatment.
People with AIDS are prone to opportunistic infections due to their immune-deficient state, ranging from fungal infections in the mouth to respiratory infections. The use of conventional drugs can provide valuable temporary relief. However, occasional or repeated use of these drugs takes its own toll on their health and immune system, and thus provides short-term relief but longer-term immune complications. Safer therapies that are not as physiologically disruptive as conventional drugs are necessary for the long-term improvement of people with AIDS. Homoeopathic medicines can play an important role in the treatment of these opportunistic infections.
One of the advantages of using homoeopathy in treating people with AIDS is that they tend to get various unusual symptoms, diseases, and syndromes, which evade immediate diagnosis. A homoeopath, however, can prescribe a remedy before a definitive conventional diagnosis is made. Because homoeopathic medicines are prescribed based on a person’s unique pattern of symptoms, a conventional diagnosis is not an immediate necessity for a curative remedy to be prescribed.
